Final answer:

The passage suggests that fans did not expect the team to win due to many losses, implying they were likely disappointed, but it does not explicitly state fans' emotions.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the passage "The team had lost so many times that no one in the stand expected them to win," we can infer that the fans did not have high expectations for the team's performance in the upcoming game. Given the team's history of losses, it would be reasonable to assume that the fans might be disappointed with the team's performance. However, the passage does not explicitly state the fans' emotions, only their lack of expectation for a win, which suggests that option 1).

They were disappointed with the team's performance is the most accurate inference we can make, although 3) They were indifferent to the team's performance could also be a possibility depending on the context. Options 2) and 4) suggest emotions of hope and anger that are not supported by the given information.
